Abstract :
Prof Wang and his group have developed a Grid Computing platform, which supports universally network applications with a speedup of 2-25. Its associated protocol is the first of its kind worldwide. Best of all, this platform requires no changes in the way users work with their applications since it conforms the existing IT infrastructures. During his presentation, he is going to show a demo of using this platform to accelerate applications, ranging from IBM DB2, MySQL, Office, Firefox Web Browser, Google Earth to Media Player. This work has won an ACM/IEEE Super Computing Award.
